☆ Steven Mnuchin says he's putting together a group to try and buy TikTok
▼ + stars: | 2024-03-14 | by ( Brent D. Griffiths | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Thursday that he's exploring assembling a group of investors to purchase TikTok, an attempt to assuage US national security concerns that the popular social media app should not be under Chinese ownership. It's a great business, and I'm going to put together a great group to buy TikTok," Mnuchin said during an interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box." Mnuchin, breaking with former President Donald Trump, said he supported a House bill that could force a ban on the popular social media app. While the bill explicitly mentions TikTok, the legislation could also apply to future companies. Trump's White House, led in part by Mnuchin, kicked off the US effort to ban the social media app.

Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin is building an investor group to acquire ByteDance's TikTok, as a bipartisan piece of legislation winding its way through Congress threatens its continued existence in the U.S. "It's a great business and I'm going to put together a group to buy TikTok." There's no way that the Chinese would ever let a U.S. company own something like this in China," Mnuchin said. Last week, Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital was a lead investor in a $1 billion capital raise to stabilize New York Community Bancorp. That administration also took an antagonistic stance toward TikTok, which ultimately resulted in ByteDance striking a data partnership with Oracle .

New York CNN —Former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said Thursday he’s assembling a team of investors to make a bid to buy TikTok. “It’s a great business and I’m going to put together a group to buy TikTok,” Mnuchin told CNBC Thursday morning. Even though TikTok is likely unprofitable, “it’s worth a lot of money,” he added. Mnuchin, though, said he’s looking to find a solution where the Chinese government will allow TikTok to be sold without a technology transfer. Even if that happens, any kind of TikTok ban would likely be fought in courts.

☆ Premarket stocks: Why another unexpectedly hot jobs report could derail markets

New York CNN —Wall Street was taken aback by the US labor market’s resilience in January. Another unexpectedly hot report could shake things up again. The January jobs report showed that the US economy added a stunning 353,000 jobs that month and the unemployment rate stayed at 3.7%. The new EU regulations force sweeping changes on some of the world’s most widely used tech products, including Apple’s app store, Google search and messaging platforms, including Meta’s WhatsApp. The broad obligations apply only to the EU, which could leave tech users in the United States and other markets looking longingly at some of the features Big Tech is rolling out in response to the European directive.

New York CNN —Customers of New York Community Bank (NYCB) pulled $6 billion worth of deposits between February 5 and March 5, leaving the bank’s deposit base 7% lower, at $77 billion. However, the pattern is not indicative of a bank run, which these days can drain a lender of funds in mere hours. Shortly ahead of its demise, depositors at Silicon Valley Bank tried withdrawing $42 billion in one day over fears they wouldn’t be able to access their funds if the bank failed. On Thursday’s call, NYCB also announced it’s slashing its dividend to one penny a share. Increasing both means the bank has fewer funds available to lend, which as a result would limit its profitability.

A new management team at New York Community Bank is working to reassure investors after the struggling lender announced a $1 billion cash infusion led by the former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. On Thursday, the bank’s beaten-down shares jumped after executives gave investors new information about the state of the company and details about its rescue plan announced the day before. They also announced a cut to the dividend, the second this year, to just one cent per share. The bank’s share price rose more than 10 percent at the start of trading on Thursday, before settling to a 7 percent gain. The bank’s stock spiraled and its bonds were downgraded by credit-rating agencies.

New York Community Bank said Thursday it lost 7% of its deposits in the turbulent month before announcing a $1 billion-plus capital injection from investors led by former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's Liberty Strategic Capital. The bank had $77.2 billion in deposits as of March 5, NYCB said in an investor presentation tied to the capital raise. NYCB also said it's slashing its quarterly dividend for the second time this year, to 1 cent per share from 5 cents, an 80% drop. In a little more than a month, the bank changed its CEO twice, saw two rounds of rating agency downgrades and announced deepening losses. At its nadir, NYCB's stock sank below $2 per share Wednesday, down more than 40%, before ultimately rebounding and ending the day higher.

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares were trading mixed Thursday, after Wall Street recovered some losses from the day before. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 momentarily reached a record high in early trading but slipped later to finish at 39,598.71, down 1.2%. “The positive handover from Wall Street, alongside lower Treasury yields and a weaker U.S. dollar, may offer some relief as Fed Chair’s testimony failed to drive much hawkish deviation from his usual script,” said Yeap Jun Rong, market analyst at IG. As always, Wall Street scrutinized each of Powell's words for hints about when the Federal Reserve could begin cutting its main interest rate, which is at its highest level since 2001. “We want to see a little more data so we can become more confident.”Traders have already shelved earlier expectations for a cut in March, and they’re now eyeing June as the likeliest beginning.

New York Community Bank, the midsize lender under pressure over its real estate loans and internal management, announced an overhaul on Wednesday that included more than $1 billion in emergency cash, the addition of former Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin to its board and the appointment of its third chief executive in a month. The investment of more than $1 billion includes cash from Mr. Mnuchin’s private equity firm, Liberty Strategic Capital, and Kenneth Griffin’s Citadel Global Equities, among others. The bank’s new chief executive, Joseph Otting, worked closely with Mr. Mnuchin in the past. He ran OneWest Bank, then owned by Mr. Mnuchin, for five years. He also oversaw the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, one of the banking industry’s primary regulators, during the Trump administration.

That happened to Silicon Valley Bank, whose failure to raise funding last year was effectively its death knell.

Miami Beach has launched an ad campaign "breaking up" with spring break tourism. Last year, two people were fatally shot during spring break, leading Miami Beach to declare a state of emergency. Police made 573 arrests in Miami Beach last spring break, as well as confiscated over 100 guns, The Wall Street Journal reported. Though many travelers have already made plans — and may not have seen the ad campaign — the "breakup" could reduce disorder. Still, some commenters on YouTube and X noted that these restrictions may not stop spring break travelers from coming.

Investigators located Audrii’s remains using cell phone records, video analysis and information from McDougal, Lyons said. In 2007, he was convicted of enticing a child in Brazoria County, Texas.
